The darts world was left reeling as the sport’s favourite “power couple” — Fallon Sherrock and Cameron Menzies — announced they have split after four years together. What once felt like a fairy-tale love born on the oche now ends in heartbreak, leaving fans stunned and wondering what could possibly have gone wrong.
The news first surfaced during a candid conversation on the Darts Draait Door podcast, when former tour player Vincent van der Voort confirmed that the pair had indeed broken up. “True, yes,” he said when pressed — but he admitted he didn’t know the full story. No official statement from either Fallon or Cam has clarified the reasons, and Van der Voort himself confessed he hadn’t asked for more. Dartsnews.com+1
For four years, Fallon and Cameron functioned not just as a romantic duo, but as each other’s greatest allies in the high-pressure world of professional darts. Their connection, fans adored, seemed genuine — born from a simple, humble start in an online darts league and cultivated in countless hours of shared practice. marijonesport.com.ng+1 At home, they would perfect their throws together, and Cam often joked that she “battered” him in training, a badge of honour he wore with affection.

But something changed. Sources close to the couple suggest that tension had been simmering beneath the surface for some time. Van der Voort hinted that an incident at the UK Open earlier in the year became a turning point: he recalled Cam falling asleep on a sofa despite having a match the next day, a moment that apparently caused friction.

Adding another layer to the emotional upheaval, Fallon had recently announced she would take a year-long break from darts to focus on her health. Dartsnews.com For many, her absence and the breakup felt painfully intertwined — a stark reminder that even champions struggle in life off the stage.
As fans reel from the sudden end of this beloved relationship, the spotlight now turns to what comes next. Will Fallon return stronger, healthier, and more focused? Will Cameron channel his heartbreak into his game and reach new heights on the circuit?
One thing is clear: their breakup leaves a void in the darts community. The “Queen of the Palace” and her loyal supporter built more than a romance — they built a narrative of passion, resilience, and shared dreams. Their story may have ended, but their legacy in the sport lives on. And though the oche now feels a little emptier, the spirit they brought to it will not be forgotten.
